<p>@SciMan Thanks a lot! I appreciate it! 
I plan on attending USF–University of San Francisco. However, I plan on staying there for one year and then possibly transfer to UCLA. I just love California and the schools.
@Souther5062 Exactly! We all have been through so much! There shouldn’t be a reason why we don’t receive this prestigious reward. However, god forbid, if we don’t receive it, our journey doesn’t end here. Like you said, God has a plan for us. He has already wrote and finished this chapter of our story and has begun to write our upcoming chapter which is ready to unfold. We just have to wait and see for the next episode. Lets stay faithful!</p>
